I will look up!

(James Smith,
"Daily Bible Readings for the Lord's Household")

"In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice. In the morning I lay my
requests 
before You--and I will look up!" Psalm 5:3

This was the Psalmist's determination in the morning--and it should be
ours.

Preserved and protected through the night--we should look up with
gratitude, 
and praise our God for His goodness.

Aware of our dependence and needs--we should look up and beg mercies of
our 
Almighty God for the new-born day.

Sensible of our foes and dangers--we should look up and pray to be kept, 
guided, and sanctified by our ever-present God.

If we look within--it will dispirit us;
if we look around--it may distract us;
if we look back--it may awaken fears;
if we look forward--it may arouse foreboding!
But if we look UP to God--it will preserve . . .
 the head from swimming,
 the heart from sinking,
 the feet from slipping, and
 the hands from hanging down!

Beloved, let us look up!
There our loving Father is!
There our interceding Savior is!
There all our supplies are!
There our everlasting home is!

Let others look where they will, "I will look up!"

If we look up to God in faith--then He will look down upon us in mercy;
and 
looking, He will supply all our needs!

Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand in

the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our 
Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and 
authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 1:24-25
